Item: Donation to Hastings Police Department
Council Action Requested:
Accept donation of $2,500 from Walmart to support our ‘Shop With A Cop’ Event
Background Information:
Walmart of Hastings is interested in donating $2,500 to Hastings Police Department to assist with our
Shop With a Cop Event. This event allows underprivileged youth in our community the opportunity to
shop with an officer and buy Christmas presents for family and loved ones.
Walmart Corporate requires agencies to develop a corporate PayPal Account to receive and spend the
funding. Because this is not the usual City process for managing grant dollars, staff formally requests
Council approval to set up and use the PayPal account, which will be done after city council approves.
Financial Impact:
Positive
